Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

He said," I am so sorry! I totally forgot about the meeting".

He apologized and said that he had totally forgotten about the meeting.

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

He apologized and said that he had totally forgotten about the meeting.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• He is being sorry for having totally forgotten about the meeting. The reporting verb "is being sorry" is in the present progressive tense. The statement was made in the past, so the reporting verb should be in the past tense.
• He was so sorry that he had totally forgot about the meeting. The verb "forgot" should be in the past participle form "forgotten".
• Having forgotten totally about the meeting he is very sorry. This is a grammatically incorrect sentence.
